She is leading gender equity in academia for ECU as part of the first pilot of the Athena SWAN Charter in Australia, she is actively addressing the gender imbalance in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine (STEMM).

Gender equality is one of the most significant issues facing academia and business today, so I’ve decided that 2017 is my year to do more to support women in STEM to become better leaders and managers. I’m doing this through my professional coaching, podcasting and marketing.
